The Many Manifestations of Bras with Open Fronts

When you’re talking about lingerie and bras, there are some terms that can be applied to several different types of bras. Open front bras are no exception. In fact, there are at least three types of bras that can be considered open front, and they are all as different as night is from day.

Simply said, an open bra is designed in such a way that the front of the bra is easily opened or the bra cup is easily opened. Some open bras have cups that are completely open at all times. As you can guess, there are many practical uses for an open bra and some erotic uses as well. Here’s a brief overview of the different types of open bras:

Easy opening bras are great for people with limited mobility or people who need to be able to open their bra without a great struggle. These open bras come with large hooks in the front, between the cups, to make opening easy.

Nursing bras are another type of open bra. This type of bra comes with a cup that is detachable. If you are nursing, this bra comes in handy because you don’t have to take off your bra or put it in an uncomfortable position to nurse.

Completely open bras are bras that basically have no cup. This type of bra is usually found used in conjunction with erotic lingerie and may only consist of a lacy outline of a bra cup or an erotically decorated under wire. As you can imagine, there are many variations of this type of open bra and it is used to enhance anything from basic lingerie to fantasy wear.

The bottom line is that no matter what stage of life you find yourself, an bra that opens in front could be in order. Just be sure to ask for the right kind of open bra or you could get more or less than what you bargained for.
